First time back since the ownership change. Oxford House was always our favorite restaurant for special occasions. The service, food, drinks, elegant atmosphere, and attention to detail were what made it special. Without that, its just another mediocre restaurant. We were very disappointed to see that the level of service and professionalism has declined. Our food was over-salted, over-cooked, and the cocktail watered-down. Plastic flowers?? Even the overall energy was noticably different. Thankfully the mountain view hasn't changed, except for the unfortunate removal of the bird feeders.

Wonderful experience at the Oxford House Inn! We sat downstairs in the bar area which is quiet and intimate. Everything was perfect which is why this restaurant is one of our top favorites in the area!

The meal and service were amazing!! However the setting was noisy. The dining room is adjacent to the Inn’s lobby area. The two ladies who were checking people in to their rooms and the dining room were very pleasant but both had extremely loud voices. It disrupted the ambiance.
